79CJ7 Project

[sam025]

Haven't posted much on here about this yet, but have finally found some time in the garage and working on my 79 CJ7. Its been sort of a modified frame off restoration, having just completed some much needed frame repairs by lifting the body up about 8 inches on stacked 2x4's. Next up is all the body mounts and replacing some of the capture nuts to get the body actually bolted to the frame. Then its some body panels, and body armor. I love rust!

Still have a ton of work to do to get it on the road, but would really like to get it on the road by this summer. Unfortunately, Nichole has a master bathroom remodel on my list too this spring.

But if anyone has some time and wants to help, let me know and I will start posting when I'm out there. There's always cold beer in the fridge

Wrenching, cutting, welding, and grinding weekend - Feb 17 and 18. Nichole is taking Holden up to NYC to visit her sister so I have a quiet GARAGE to myself. If you need to get out of your house come on over. Will be in there all day Saturday and into the night (Caps game starts 8:30 and will be on in the garage) and Sunday until 3:00 then have to go pick up the family.

Some of the weekend list includes: mounting the body back to the frame, rear leaf springs and axle back in place, swap out front spring/axle set up to the wider wrangler leafs and widetrac axles, remove old/mount new front shock towers, swapping from manual to power steering box, and maybe getting some of the engine and front end back together.
